This article investigates the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM25) and its leadership’s main speeches. Informed by both discourse theory and Michel Foucault’s work on parrhesia (veridiction), the analysis draws on readings of transnational Euroalternativism and populism, pointing out the conflicting logic of bringing them together at the transnational level. Our findings thus stress the increasing politicization of European integration as an opportunity to mobilize transnational activities, which are based on the populist ‘people vs. the elites’ dichotomy and against Brussels’ unaccountable elites (see FitzGibbon & Guerra, 2019), while indicating the limits of leadership in a populist transnational movement (de Cleen, Moffitt, Panayotu, & Stavrakakis, 2019; Marzolini & Souvlis, 2016). Keywords discourse analysis; Euroalternativism; leadership; parrhesia; power relations; transnational populism Issue This article is part of the issue “Leadership, Populism and Power” edited by Cristine de Clercy (Western University, Canada).

  • Remarks by Professor Richard Perham Following His Installation As Master, 5 January 2004
    Remarks by Professor Richard Perham following his installation as Master, 5 January 2004 President, fellow Johnians, On the 6th of November last year, the Fellows of this College paid me the highest compliment of my academic life by electing me to the Mastership. The declaration I have just made requires me to do all in my power to secure the good government of the College as a place of education, religion, learning and research, and to observe all the statutes. It has not escaped my notice that the declaration made by a Fellow on being admitted to his or her Fellowship requires him or her also to observe the statutes - but the important qualification ‘all’ is omitted. No doubt historians of the College will be able to enlighten me as to the reasons for this difference in the declarations - meanwhile I shall continue to work on the assumption that Fellows are not at liberty to pick and choose among the statutes they observe! What are we to make of this College of ours as we embark on a new calendar year in what is still almost a new century? St John’s is not a grand College, but it is a great one, unique I believe in Cambridge and Oxford. The difference, I put it to you, is an important one that has been with us for almost 500 years. It is not something of which we need be, or should be, embarrassed. We trace our foundation back to the largesse of the Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of King Henry VII, but we owe much to Bishop (now Saint) John Fisher, her spiritual adviser and companion.

  • Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia
    PROTEST AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Chiavacci, (eds) Grano & Obinger Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia East Democratic in State the and Society Civil Edited by David Chiavacci, Simona Grano, and Julia Obinger Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia Between Entanglement and Contention in Post High Growth Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia Protest and Social Movements Recent years have seen an explosion of protest movements around the world, and academic theories are racing to catch up with them. This series aims to further our understanding of the origins, dealings, decisions, and outcomes of social movements by fostering dialogue among many traditions of thought, across European nations and across continents. All theoretical perspectives are welcome. Books in the series typically combine theory with empirical research, dealing with various types of mobilization, from neighborhood groups to revolutions. We especially welcome work that synthesizes or compares different approaches to social movements, such as cultural and structural traditions, micro- and macro-social, economic and ideal, or qualitative and quantitative. Books in the series will be published in English. One goal is to encourage non- native speakers to introduce their work to Anglophone audiences. Another is to maximize accessibility: all books will be available in open access within a year after printed publication. Series Editors Jan Willem Duyvendak is professor of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam. James M. Jasper teaches at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

  • Political History of the Balkans (1989–2018) This Page Intentionally Left Blank POLITICAL HISTORY of the BALKANS (1989–2018) Edited by József Dúró – Zoltán Egeresi
    The Balkan Peninsula has played a crucial role in human history many times. The region framed the 20th century. The end of the Political History of the Balkans Cold War also had a significant effect on the region as it resulted (1989–2018) in bloody wars, economic collapse and complicated political transitions. The 2000s and 2010s opened the way towards EU membership, as many countries received candidate status and launched accession negotiations – however, this process has recently been facing obstacles. Political History This volume provides a general overview of the Post-Cold War history of the Balkans and explores the dynamics behind these tremendous changes ranging from democratic transitions to EU prospects. The authors describe the transitional period, the evolution of the political system and highlight the most important of the Balkans political developments in each country in the region. We recommend this book to those who seek a deeper insight into the recent history of the Balkans and a deeper understanding of its political developments.

  • Civil Societies and Social Movements: Potentials and Problems
    Civil Societies and Social Movements Civil Societies and Social Movements examines and contributes to debates surrounding social capital, social movements and the role of civil society in emerging forms of governance. The authors adopt a broad range of research approaches, from testing hypotheses drawn from rational choice theory against available statistics on associations, to ethnographic study of emerging attempts at participant/delibera- tive democracy. The book is divided into three clear sections, which focus on the following core aspects of civil society: • The position of civic organizations between state and society in emerging forms of governance. • The geographical scales of social movement mobilizations and actions from the local to the global. • The patterns of public trust and civic engagement that fall under the rubric of social capital. The volume draws on case studies from a wide range of countries, including Russia, Ukraine, Britain, Greece, Spain, Germany, Argentina and new Asian democracies. Presenting current research on the key dimensions of civil society, this book will appeal to those researching and studying in the fields of political science, sociology and social policy.
